What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"My favorite Barbie doll was a Stacy, so she was a student."

How often did you play with your Barbies in family scenarios? Were families always made up of a mother, father and children? If not, what did families consist of?

"Quite often, though they would be a large mix of family members - not all families would have both parents etc. Most often, it'd be mums with children (I never quite understood how Skipper, Stacie etc were meant to be her sisters... I always thought of Barbie as much older than them and more their mother/aunt)"
